Looking at the web site for GR I see they have the carnage center and the studios. Has anyone heard these compared to say the 600m?

I know I missed the boat at the larger floor standing carnage speakers.
So, the flat packs and DIY builds are on back order for a bit. I just purchased Klipsch 600m 504c and Spl120. Wondering if I should return, and purchase the carnage. This would also mean I would need to match a sub.

Keep in mind I paid 25% off retail for new in box items. I’m 1 week in to owning them. They are nice, but I can hear the missing points and lack of some details I’m used to. The Klipsch upgrade for the 600m and 504C would be my first purchase if I keep! Yet, I’m toying with purchasing everything and doing a side x side... At that point sell what ever I’m not going to keep.

I think the only person who might be able to accurately answer this is Danny!?  So, I guess being that... Mr Hot Rod of audio...Could I ask you a question please?  Carnage or Klipsch with your upgrades? Also do you have the information (print outs) for the carnage speakers? Thanks so much!  I will leave it at that for now folks.

The Carnegies would be better.

Thanks for your response. I’m going to try and call Danny today and chat for a bit. Possibly thinking of taking a quick trip to see him. Still have many many questions. Lol. Thanks again!

A Carnegie for a center and a pair of NX Studio Monitors for fronts would be an incredible HT setup.

Tyson,
I know they NX Studio Monitors are great on a desk top, (what they were design for). And maybe a small room if not played too loud. But will they have enough dynamics and be able to play loud enough for a home theater?

As long as you don't feed them a lot of bass they will go very loud.

He's right. They are quite a bit better in many areas.

Well, we will see them soon enough when I arrive to GR! For now, I think I’m going to do the upgrades, just to do them, and then offer the speakers to the public finished. Why? I got a good deal on them new from a buddy’s shop! I don’t want to return them on him. I don’t know, I just feel it might be a bad move to return.


Being I love the fact of opening things up and making them better, I think I’m going to do the mod! Sell, and get ready to build! The Carnage’s look beautiful! No question!


Thank you all for your comments! I’ll be able to check them out first hand soon... in the meantime keep my idle hands busy with a build.

Thank you all

Would that Carnegie center work well with the xls’s too? Haven’t thought about a center channel yet..

The Centrare model is their center channel, and it will match well with our A/V Series and X Series kits.
